Posts for December 2012

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Victoria wears a gold sequin dress with an open draped back. Her relationship with Billy at the moment is a bit like The Today Show: flailing. While viewers wonder Where in the World is Matt Lauer since he is not particularly winning over viewers since Ann Curry's hasty departure, Billy has realized Jamaica may be the key to his problems with Victoria. It is uncertain whether Good Morning America and Victor will reign supreme in these two instances or whether each will recapture the magic and wow viewers the way this dress did.</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a gray sweater. Remember the episode of The Big Bang Theory when Sheldon and Leonard's apartment is broken into and Sheldon decides to move to Montana? Upon his arrival he prompty gets mugged and returns to California almost immediately. Sharon, like Sheldon, takes things to the extreme like when she attempts to break things off with Adam for good or hides in a cabin while pretending to be out of town after setting the Ranch on fire. Now Sheldon has never burned a house down per se but there's no doubt he can launch into a lengthy explanation on the elements of fire. </p>

Please note: I'm still searching for the exact one so check back but here's a similar sweater in the meantime.

On the December 4, 2012 episode of The Young and the Restless, Lauren wears a pair of silver hoop earrings. Enter the giveaway now to win a similar pair: the Rachel Roy "Organic Hoop" Earrings in Silver pictured below.</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Lily wears a red dress and gold necklace. Now that she's Working 9 to 5, one can't deny it's quite a way to make a living surrounded by her dad, brother, and husband. Luckily, Lily's boss would never just "use her mind" and not give her the proper credit. As Dolly Parton sings, she is "hardly just a step, on the boss man's ladder" and Neil would never even dream of taking her dreams away. More importantly, Neil would obviously recognize Lily's "service and devotion" and surely "give her a promotion." Forget "cup of ambition." How about a nice steaming mug of nepotism?</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Lauren wears a gray metallic rib knit sweater and a spear necklace. As she worries about her son Fenmore and his relationship with bad-influence Summer, you can't help but admire her Momma Bear qualities. While Fen may not see her Molly Weasley potential ("Not My Daughter, You Bitch!") when it comes to protecting him, it is not hard to see she would do anything for him. That being said, notice how now that Lauren's not carrying a gun around town anymore, she has a spear hanging around her neck. Perfect for gouging Daisy's eyes out if she were to suddenly attack. Or worse yet, Sheila's because let's face it, we all know it's only a matter of time. Metallic Rib Knit Sweater with Asymmetric Trim$59.90 at Zara</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Leslie wears a silk blouse and wishbone necklace. Her relationship with Neil is a bit like Marcel Duchamp's art- a bit unconventional but somehow, it works. Leslie openly admits she's hesitant to accept Mr. Winters' job offer because she's afraid of a mutual attraction they have towards one another and their dating past. Ummm, what woman in her right mind would ever do that?! Way to play the game, dear. And similarly, what artist would ever dream of taking a porcelain urinal, titling it Fountain and passing it off as art? Just like you can't help but root for Leslie and Neil (Neslie? Leil?), you can't help but admire Duchamp's controversial piece and creativity. </p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Phyllis wears a black dress. You know Dasher (Genevieve) and Dancer (Lily) and Prancer (Abby) and Vixen (Sharon), Comet (Chelsea) and Cupid (Lauren) and Donner (Chloe) and Blitzen (Nikki) but do you recall the one with the red nose hair that appalls? All of the other Genoa City women used to laugh and call her names, they never let poor Phyllis join in their catty games. Then one foggy summer's eve, Ronan came to say, "Phyllis with your hair so bright, won't you rock my world tonight?" Then she went and fought with Summer, and Christine shouted "You will see. Phyllis Summers Newman, you'll go down in history!"</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Victoria wears a brown top and a striped scarf. Now that she's back in Genoa City after her kidnapping ordeal, one can't help but wonder if she misses Miami. Not only does the city have better weather and Cuban food but she only missed Art Basel by a week or two. Talk about wrong place, wrong time, huh? Then again, Billy and Nick may have gotten confused thinking she was busy participating in "performance art." You know, playing the part of "determined woman ready to break free" like she does during her weekly dress rehearsals with her dear daddy Victor. That is, after she is done painting the town red.</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Avery wears a plaid shirt. Let's face it, her relationship with Nick is getting a little boring now that Phyllis seems more concerned with winning Summer back than fighting them. As a result, the couple is almost as dull as Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen naming their new baby girl Vivian. Guess the famous duo didn't get the memo about celebrities naming their children something unusual like Suri. Or Apple. Or Sunday. You know, like Avery must have overlooked the message that women don't date men who are still married, let alone to their sisters. Guess we'll have to wait until Avery gets pregnant with Nick's child for the fireworks to begin anew. And cross our fingers they name the baby something quirky like Cupcake.</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Nikki wears a plum top, chain necklace, and hoop earrings. Her attitude towards Chelsea is both bewildering and understandable, just like Fox's new celebrity diving show "Stars in Danger: High Diving." In Nikki's case, her icy behavior is bewildering because Adam's wife tried to ruin her daughter's marriage. Then again, it is also confusing because Victoria would not have Johnny at all if Chelsea hadn't been so generous. As for Fox, the network certainly knows viewers are going to tune in to watch a Miss Kim Richards dive off the deep end (as if she hasn't already) but diving? Really? Sounds about as likely to succeed as a little show about celebrities learning how to figure skate that ABC likes to pretend never existed. Anyhow, because Nikki's demeanor is so hard to read at the moment, Chelsea better watch out for any cannonballs coming her way.</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Sharon wears a blue shirt and moon and star necklace. Now that the palace has announced Kate Middleton is pregnant, everyone is no doubt over the moon. Sharon, on the other hand, is expecting harsh judgement and in Chelsea's eyes, is becoming a royal pain. So while the Duchess of Cambridge is with child, Adam's wife thinks her husband's ex is behaving like one. The one thing Sharon and Kate seem to have in common these days? They both look stunning in blue. That has to count for something, right?</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Lily wears a yellow lace dress. Does her relationship with Cane remind anybody else of Ashley and JP's? Besides the fact that both couples are young and very much in love, the Rosenbaums and Ashbys each own a Yorkshire Terrier. Absolutely adorable, right? And just like the Genoa City pair will always have Paris, the newlyweds will always have Fiji. Now if only the Bachelorette duo would hurry up and have twins, Chris Harrison's life would be complete.</p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Jill wears a navy dress with open shoulders. When she agrees to go to dinner with Tucker, one can't help wonder if she using him. Then again, is Mr. McCall trying to manipulate a poor unsuspecting Jill? Seems to mirror the many questions arising in regards to Kim Zolciak's leaving The Real Housewives of Atlanta. Was the blond fired? Did she choose to leave? Some things we will never know until someone inevitably writes a tell-all book. As for Jill and Tucker, the truth will eventually be revealed but for now, a game of cat and mouse is just what Kim's doctor ordered. You know, after advising the weave-wearing housewife not to go on that Anguilla trip. </p>

On this episode of The Young and the Restless, Summer wears a plaid jacket. She may act like everything is fine a la Angela in The Office but deep down, you just know she's seething. While Summer may not be out hiring people to murder break the kneecaps of her enemies, one could guess she has crumbled a cookie or two out of pure frustration. The difference is, Angela's go-to-guy Dwight was waiting for her with open arms while Summer's main squeeze Fen is growing darker and more distant by the day. If the youngest Baldwin's not careful, people will be jumping into his unmarked van and hiring him to commit vengeful acts after he shows them his gun receipt. In other words, sad and creepy just like Dwight's friend. And all because of Summer.</p>
